Registry check · Vitamin A
Does anyone independently verify Vitamin A supplements?

The 3 products on this page checked against all 5,317 US NSF, USP and Informed Sport listings, 2026-08-25. Full method and limitations.
What Vitamin A labels show
Priced per day, these vitamin A products run $0.07 to $0.14 — a 2.0× gap between the cheapest and priciest vitamin A here, across 3 brands.
Which row that favors is not obvious: Solgar Dry Vitamin A 1,500mcg (5,000 IU), 100 Tablets is cheapest per serving at $0.07, but its serving sits below the median here, so part of that price gap is simply a smaller capsule.
